The website TMZ today released footage of Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson -- whose racist and homophobic remarks touched off a national controversy last year -- blasting gays in a fiery sermon delivered on Easter Sunday.

In it, he (predictably) blames the media for misunderstanding that he wasn't, in fact, being homophobic (rrrrrright), he was merely quoting the Bible. And he rips into the gay community with all the vitriol you'd expect:

"[Gays] were mad at me... because instead of acknowledging their sin, like you had better do, they railed against me for giving them the truth about their sins. Don't deceive yourselves. You want the verse? The news media didn't even know it was a verse! They thought I was just mouthing off.
